I prefer to read mail using emacs.  I wrote my own macros, but I know that
Unipress Emacs and Gnu Emacs both provide packages that manipulate mail for
you.  The nice thing about emacs mailers is their seamless integration into
the emacs editing enviornment -- you can cut and paste, zero overhead to edit
messages, etc.  Since Gnu runs under X, I think this solution meets your
criteria.

As another alternative, have you tried elm?  I use the X Window System and
find elm in an hpterm window works fine.

"ELM" stands for "ELectronic Mailer."  It is a screen-oriented mailer in the
public domain that has developed quite a following.  The Elm Development Group
keeps discussion lively in comp.mail.elm.  elm has the added advantage of
being supported by HP (for HP hosts) as a standard command in a future HP-UX
release.

This is from the monthly posting of the EDG:

The following sites have agreed to make Elm available via anonymous ftp.
